The Deans’ Office will be selling student parking permits at a cost of $150 to all seniors and only juniors who are currently enrolled in a GAVC class in which busing is not available. Students will not be sold a parking permit if they still owe current and/or previous school fees and/or need to meet any previous school obligations (including GAVC students). Registration for the 2024-2025 school year must also be complete in PowerSchool.

Parking Permit Request Form & Fee

The parking permit request form and associated fee are now available online and must be completed/paid via PowerSchool. Directions for paying fees in PowerSchool can be found here. Because each permit request in PowerSchool is associated with a specific student, a sibling may not complete a form on their behalf. The student/parent must complete the process.

Please see the map below showcasing the proper driving directions during morning student drop-offs. It is essential to follow the drop-off route for the safety of our students. When dropping off or picking up your student from Central Campus please use the entrance off Wabena Ave. Then, use the exit only lanes out of the parking lot onto McEvily Rd. Students who have a parking permit may enter the lot from Wabena Ave. or McEvily Rd. and must park in their assigned parking spot.

Please see the map below that shows the proper driving directions during morning student drop-offs. When arriving, please only enter and exit our lot off of Eames St. at the stoplight and drive in a counterclockwise direction as traffic is one-way. Do not enter or exit from the East entrance or Deer Path street as these are reserved for bus and staff only. Be sure to follow all directional signs. It is essential to follow the drop-off route for the safety of our students and staff. Please remember, the Northeast entrance off of Rt. 6/W Eames St. will not be accessible for student drop off.

If you go to either campus during the school day to pick up/drop off a student or run into the office, do not park directly in front of the school in the yellow lines. This lane is used for buses transporting students back and forth between campuses during the day as well as for our School Resource Officers (SRO). This is to ensure the safety of our students and transportation accessibility. Please utilize the visitor parking spaces at both campuses.
